Planting the Future

Editat de Rosemary Gladstar, Pamela Hirsch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2000

Notăm cu interes apariția ediției originale a lucrării Planting the Future, un efort colectiv coordonat de Rosemary Gladstar și Pamela Hirsch sub egida organizației United Plant Savers. Această lucrare nu este doar un ghid de herboristerie, ci un manifest pentru sustenabilitate într-o eră în care piața botanică americană a dus la supraexploatarea unor specii critice precum ginsengul american, echinacea sau goldenseal. Structura cărții este una enciclopedică, dedicând capitole specifice pentru 33 de plante medicinale, fiecare fiind analizată prin prisma experienței vaste a unor experți precum Stephen Harrod Buhner sau Susun S. Weed. Remarcăm progresia logică a volumului, care debutează cu strategii de conservare și crearea de sanctuare botanice, continuând cu monografii detaliate ale plantelor și soluții practice pentru cultivare, indiferent de spațiul disponibil. Subliniem relevanța capitolului despre analogi herbali, care oferă alternative sustenabile pentru plantele aflate în pericol de dispariție, menținând aceleași beneficii terapeutice. Lucrarea completează perspectiva oferită de Herbal Voices de Ethan B. Russo, adăugând o componentă practică de administrare a terenului și protecție a habitatului pe care interviurile lui Russo doar o semnalează la nivel teoretic. În contextul operei lui Rosemary Gladstar, acest titlu reprezintă pilonul său ecologist, ancorând sfaturile practice din volume precum Herbs for Children's Health sau Fire Cider! într-o etică riguroasă a consumului responsabil. Planting the Future transformă cititorul din simplu utilizator de plante în custode al biodiversității, oferind instrumentele necesare pentru a asigura regenerarea resurselor medicinale pentru generațiile viitoare.

Descriere scurtă

Voted one of the Top 10 books in 2000 by the Vermont Book Publishers Association.
A collective endeavor by United Plant Savers, featuring America's most respected and well-known herbalists.
Contributors include Don Babineau, Tim Blakley, Mark Blumenthal, Jane Bothwell, Stephen Harrod Buhner, David Bunting, Richo Cech, Tane Datta, Shatoiya and Rick de la Tour, Ryan Drum, Doug Elliott, Steven Foster, Cascade Anderson Geller, Kate Gilday, Rosemary Gladstar, James Green, Pamela Hirsch, Christopher Hobbs, Sara Katz, Kathi Keville, Robyn Klein, Richard Liebmann, Brigitte Mars, Pam Montgomery, Nancy and Michael Phillips, Janice J. Schofield, Joanne Marie Snow, Deb Soule, Paul Strauss, Gregory L. Tilford, Krista Thie, Susun S. Weed, David Winston, Martin Wall, Matthew Wood.
While the renaissance in the U.S. botanical market is positive in many respects, medicinal plant populations are suffering from loss of habitat and overharvesting, and many bestselling herbs are now at risk including echinacea, American ginseng, goldenseal, Hawaiian wild kava, and wild yam. The authors share their extensive experience with using and growing thirty-three of these popular herbs and include suggestions for creating your own private herbal sanctuary--whether a city balcony, suburban backyard, or rural retreat. Full-color photographs will inspire experienced and novice herb users alike to protect and cultivate these remarkable healing plants. Readers will also find out how to use herbal analogues for at-risk plants--other medicinal herbs that provide the same benefits and exist in plentiful amounts--and learn ways to make their herbal purchases a vote for sustainability. "Planting the Future" shows us how we can participate in the land stewardship, habitat protection, and eco-friendly consumption that will ensure an abundant, renewable supply of medicinal plants for future generations.
All author royalties will be used for replanting native medicinal herbs on a 370-acre botanical sanctuary in Ohio.
